Finding a safe market to invest in

When you invest in a business, there’s plenty on the line. It makes sense to pick a business that operates within a growth sector. The UK storage market has grown impressively over many years and offers excellent returns. At the heart of the sector is self storage, a service that allows customers to store their belongings in locked, individual units within large warehouses. A 2018 report by Cushman and Wakefield estimated annual turnover to be worth £750m with occupation growing by an impressive 8.8% to 2.8 million sq feet.

Self storage has become expensive

The average UK self storage customer spends £190 per month, and nearly double that in London. In contrast, the average spend in the USA is just $91 per month, resulting in take-up that’s10x higher per capita than in the UK. High UK self storage prices are the consequence of expensive real estate and inefficiency. As much as 48% of space in a self storage warehouse is lost to access corridors and height restrictions. The report found that 88% of customers expected storage to cost less.

There’s a demand for better value

Provide an easier storage service, and you are in a good position to compete. Bring down prices too, and your appeal to potential customers becomes compelling. Bring down prices substantially, and you open up the storage market to the many who are unable or unwilling to pay over-inflated prices.

Big price advantage

In the same way that easyJet brought down the cost of flying, easyStorage has found a way to bring down the cost of storing. Better efficiency, tech and innovative systems enable us to set our prices up to 50% lower than self storage competitors and make a healthy profit.

Easier and more efficient than self-storage

Our collection and return service makes storing easier. The van and fuel are free, with customers paying only for loading time. Items are packed into easyPods which can be stacked high in our warehouses, resulting in very little wastage of space. Customers can book to access their easyPods in a special viewing area, or have them returned by one of our vans.

A robust business model

The easyStorage business model is proven and we have grown to meet demand. Our 5 centres cover London and the home counties with franchises in Liverpool and Enfield.
